Looks good! Much better idea putting the cross-overs in rather than the extra
yard on the inner loop!
What's the chances of getting a lower table for the "river"? That'd be much
better for a bridge - even 4 or 5 bricks would make it much better, and would
still be able to have some kind of port / anchorage (if someone wanted to do
one). The other alternative is raising the rest of the layout with something,
like little platforms. But that'd be more time & expense.

Might want to look at a bit of clearance around the edges to, in case of
accidents. Or small walls. I seem to recall there was a discussion about this
recently in .trains, I think.
